You implied it. You basically stated Nintendo copied HD with their new system. While stating this, you fail to understand that variable resolutions were common even 15 years ago. If you really think Nintendo has "copied" HD, then Sony "copied" the 640x480 resolution for PS2 from N64's Expansion Pack.

Yes, Nintendo fans often exaggerate Nintendo's "inventions" and Sony does innovate more than they get credit for. But don't act ignorant, you're only contributing to the idiocy with these silly claims.

No. No I didn't imply it. Stop putting words into my mouth. I never once implied Sony invented high definition. The key words in my post were "and not following the crowd". I never once mentioned a specific company.

As for Sony copying the 640x480... I don't care. If I cared, I would have put it in my post. My post though, had nothing to do with Sony copying stuff. As you can see in there, I was aiming it at the holy Nintendo.

These threads are getting annoying. A bunch of Nintendo fans seem to think there must be a thread every 6 Months explaining how Nintendo innovate all the time, never copy anything, and Sony are the evil copiers who never do anything new. Thankfully, I wasn't the only person here who decided to shit on the thread. Nintendo have copied a lot more than people, for some reason, like to admit.

But me (that started this thread) have more esteem for Sony because they actually care to make better stuff even when others start trends in the industry. Nintendo is very stubborn on delivering what their fans want. So yes Sony copies successes from others but there's nothing absolutely wrong if your version is 100% better!
